Violet Thanks

Hello there! Happy Tuesday! Today I have a card for you chock full of my new PTI goodies. First up the Violet from Year of the Flowers: Violets. I thought this flower would be easy to color. I was wrong. Not easy. In Bloom and Friends til the end are so much easier. I stamped the leaves on pp from MM. The striped paper is also from MM (I bought it ages ago, I am sure its not around anymore). I made the scallop with my new PTI scallop die... this is the large scallop. I added some new leaf ribbon which looks avocado like in the pic but in real life is a much truer green. The sentiment is from YOF: Violets. The little frame is from Fillable Frames. I have the die to cut it out, but this one I did by hand. The ink is from dew drops, the name is escaping me at the moment. The base of the card is PTI New Leaf. Thanks for stopping in!

Looking for a Charity? Consider Donors Choose.

Donor's Choose is a charity that helps teachers fund projects for their classrooms. I am a elementary school science teacher and have used Donor's Choose to fund projects I can't get the school to pay for and don't have the money to pay for myself. The link goes to my personal page and links up any current projects I am trying to fund. Once there you can also see the projects of many other teachers.

About Me

Just another mom of two, thirty (uh now forty- yikes) something year old whose life has all the excitement of a snail. Quite a long time ago I started this blog to comment on the blogs of others- but along the way I fell in love with papercrafts and now this blog is my showcase. Occasionally you will still read some of my rants, you might see some pictures of my kiddos, and sometimes you might catch my exercise woes. If you would like to use a picture or idea, please ask- I am almost always happy to share. You can contact me at derbylea at sbcglobal dot net.
